This was all of our first time to Disney and we had a magical time. But coming back to a comfortable townhouse instead of a room was essential for us. There were seven of us that went, (My husband and I, our three children, and my parents) and we all had our own space. They also have all the necessary items for a baby/toddler and it was so nice that we didn't have to pack those things with us. The townhouse was clean, and had everything you need to have a great vacation! Sandy always promptly answered any emails I sent her and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this property! It was also very well priced and was a great value versus staying on Disney in a smaller room!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much, Stacey, for taking the time to write a review and to share your experience with others. That is wonderful that your first vacation to Disney was so magical. We are glad that you enjoyed the space of the townhome, that you had everything you needed, and that the baby/toddler items were well utilized. We enjoyed accommodating your lovely family for such a special vacation. We truly hope you will return one day when you decide to visit "the magic" once again. All the best, Sandy and Rick

Traveling with a four year old and a five month old, this was as close to being in our own home as we would find. Having all of the equipment needed for a baby was extremely helpful. The unit itself was beautiful. My four year old daughter loved the fact that she had her own bathroom. The place was extremely clean and well maintained. It took us about 15 minutes to get to Disney and 5 to get to Sea World. Just for any further renters, if you are going to go food shopping, try the Super Walmart. Publix is very expensive. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We travel twice a year, and this town home was an excellent choice for our family vacation. We have rented Condo's in the past, but this property is by far superior. The owner has taken pride in this property and it shows. It was extremely clean, modern & spacious. It is close to all amenities and Disney. I would recommend this to anyone. 5 star accommodation!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Goodness, where shall I begin, our whole experience was exceptionally comfortable and positive! This was our first time booking from vrbo. com. Our booking experience began in Sept. 2012. I exchanged a few emails with the owner Sandy; her responses were always prompt, informative and totally helpful. I felt completely at ease communicating with her. Our party was the max at 8 guests - 2 families - (4 adults 4 children ages 10, 9, 9, 5) and the spaciousness and layout of this home/condo could not have been better. We never felt we were in each others space or on top of each other. This home particularly appealed to me because it was in a gated community (small kids) the location and proximity of the attractions we wanted to visit and how roomy it was. By no means are we "high maintenance" people but we do appreciate attention to detail and a certain comfort level. This condo delivers 100%. Upon entering the home, the "feel" of it was so homey and relaxed. It is evident that much love and care goes into maintaining this home. Everything is in meticulous and clean condition; nothing is frayed, run down or shabby. The condition and amenities of this condo is just as the description reads and everything reflects the photos accurately. The towels were thick, fluffy and abundant. The sheets were soft cotton. The decor is bright, cheery and aesthetically pleasing. I was very impressed at how informed you were with EVERYTHING; the organization of all the info was truly over the top. The kitchen has every imaginable tool, lots of dish ware, great coffee cups and plenty of space to prepare a good meal. We LOVED that the two masters were floors apart, it made for such privacy and personal space. We stayed on the first floor master and the bed was SUPER comfortable as were the pillows! The water pressure in the shower is CRAZY good! The children loved the Wii and LOVED the pool even more. The clubhouse is gorgeous and the pool is HUGE. The surrounding grounds are very peaceful for a walk and everyone in the gates was very friendly and courteous. It was fabulous to have the Public grocery 2 min. from the house ! We also dined at the NYPD Pizza and the Chinese place. Both were very good. We also had mani/pedi's at the neighboring Nail Spa and felt the service was outstanding ! The best part for us (well for me, the laundress!) was going home with CLEAN CLOTHES ! Great efficient washer and dryer. Thank you Sandy and Rick! Meredith M.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much Meredith for taking the time to write a review to share your experience with future guests. It means a lot to us. Communication is very important in the rental process, and we are pleased that you felt very comfortable and at ease with renting the townhome from the beginning. We are delighted that you noticed the attention to detail and appreciated all of the amenities we offer. We love our guests and want all to have the best stay possible. Thanks for mentioning the quality of the towels, sheets, and pillows, and the well stocked kitchen, as we put a lot of effort in choosing higher end items. We visit often and are always adding and replacing things as needed. We also deep clean ourselves each time we visit and our goal is for our townhome always to look as new as the day we purchased it. Vista Cay is second to none for location and we are very pleased that you enjoyed the wonderful pool and beautiful landscaping of the resort. It is great to take walks around the lake or to visit the pool and look out to the beautiful Lake Cay. And definitely a washer and dryer makes all the difference. Please come back and visit us again. You were great guests. Sandy and Rick

My family was celebrating my Grandson's 5th birthday at Disney. The townhome was absolutely pefect! Perfect location(literally 6 -8 minutes to the theme parks), nice part of town-we felt very safe-plus the resort is gated! It was so nice to have the Publix and Walgreens less than 3 minutes from our door! The amenities were great! Sometimes its the little things that mean the most-plenty of hangers in the closet-PLENTY of towels in each bathroom-alarm clocks-ceiling fans etc. It is beautifully decorated and is exactly what you see on the website. It smelled so clean and fresh when we walked in and the place was immaculate. Such a bargain for the square footage you get-unlike the tiny rooms at some of the resort hotels at Disney. My grandson loved the game room at the club house and the pool area was beautiful. The staff was very friendly. It was a very easy booking process and the owners of the townhome are very friendly, helpful, and very organized. If you are looking for a beautiful home away from home with ALL amenities- very close to all attractions- very clean- and priced right-look no further- you found it!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much, Lauri, for taking the time out of your busy day to write a review and for letting future guests know about your experience. We are so glad that you found the location safe, convenient, and perfect for your visits to the parks. We were delighted to accommodate your lovely family for your grandson's very special 5th birthday celebration. Thanks also for commenting on all the little things provided. We visit the townhome ourselves several times per year, deep clean every time we visit, and replace and update continuously. We strive to provide a personal touch for our guests and a home away from home when they return from the busy days at the parks. Thanks so much for choosing us for your vacation, and we hope to hear from you once again when you decide to make a future visit. All the best, Sandy and Rick

The condo was spotless, and stocked with supplies just as described. Everything we used was in working order. The location is very centrally located to the many theme parks in the area shopping and restaurants. Beds and other furniture are quite comfortable. If you have infants/toddlers don't hesitate to book this condo....everything you will need is there for your use. Exceptional property and will look into staying there again if the opportunity arises.Owner response: Thanks so much Cynthia for taking the time to review our townhome in Vista Cay.

This home was absolutely beautiful and in pristine condition. The owners were extremely helpful in providing us with additional information such as where to eat or buy tickets for our outings. They made sure all arrangements were in order. Upon arrival all the necessary items were there in the condo and there was no immediate need to rush out to the grocery store for staple items. The home decor was lovely and we had everything we needed. The location was superb with grocery stores, pizza houses, and many restaurants nearby. It was a great vacation and we look forward to returning before long. I'd rate this condo a 10.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Well, what can I say... This town home is Wow! Pre-travel - Owners were brilliant from the outset. We live in the uk and they live in the USA however every email was answered quickly. They were there to advise not only about the rental but about location, amenities and anything else you could think of. All entry information (coded entry) was sent well in advance so no stressing over getting keys etc - straight from airport to bed! Accommodation - Fantastic! No other words need to be used. The home looks brand new. Beds were soooo comfy and everything was wonderfully clean. There was nothing we lacked during our stay (kitchen equipment, lots of big towels for both home and pool use, washing / drying facilities, etc etc). There was a tv in all bedrooms as well as the lounge with an endless amount of channels. The Wii was also great fun. Location - Vista Cay is in a great location for access to all the parks. It's really close to sea world / discovery cove but it doesn't take long to get anywhere. Can recommend NYPD pizza (walking distance) for both take out and eat in (great pizza and friendly staff - make you feel like a local). The publix supermarket next to NYPD is a brilliant quiet supermarket with the best take out subs! Walgreens is right next door to Vista Cay, which is really handy. Vista Cay pool was always quiet whilst we were there - lots of sunbeds, really clean and welcoming jacuzzi, help to make it really relaxing. The on site shop (lovely coffee) and games room were also well used by us. All the members of staff we met at Vista Cay were very helpful and the whole area felt safe. This is a very honest review of this property - I honestly cannot fault the property, Vista Cay or the location at all. The only negative is that we are all the way back in the UK desperately trying to save pennies cents to return at some stage!Owner response: Hi Kay and family, Thank you so much for the very thorough review of our town home. We really appreciate you taking the time to let our future guests know about your experience. We were so pleased to have your lovely family as guests, and it was fun communicating with you from the beginning. We are especially pleased that you found our town home to have the "Wow" effect. We visit out town home regularly to replace and update items to the highest standards. We are also glad that your family enjoyed all of the amenities offered in the town home and the resort. Vista Cay is conveniently located to all of the attractions and is "second to none" when it comes to location. We look forward to helping you plan once again when you are ready to return to the area. Sandy and Rick

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: My husband and I are recently retired. I was a stay at home mother and completed my education as an adult. I was fortunate to then practice as a school psychologist/behavior analyst/autism consultant in the Public School System for 15 years. My husband, Rick, practiced as an engineer/MBA in the railroad industry for 39 years. We love visiting Florida and taking care of our two properties there, and keep them within the highest standards for the vacationers that frequent them. Our guests are very important to us! We spend much of our time with our grandchildren--they are the highlight of our lives! We are just beginning to travel more; basically, we are just trying to take time to realize our priorities and 'smell the roses.'
Why the Owner Chose Orlando:
We absolutely love Vista Cay! We purchased this property after visiting Disney World in February and seeing the beautiful roses blooming in Epcot Center. We live in Pennsylvania, and sometimes February can be quite gloomy with the weather we get. We came home and started looking for 'a place in the sun.' Vista Cay provides a great location with its central location to Disney, Universal, Sea World, and Aquatica; it is also very close to International Drive with its many restaurants, shopping areas, and festivities. We love being part of the rental industry in the vacation capital of the world.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
We love having our coffee in the morning on the balcony or patio and then taking a walk around the beautifully landscaped lake. We also love to dine at Bahama Breeze on International Drive. The Publix next store is a wonderful place, as they sell about everything, and the staff there are so friendly. We love the Chinese Restaurant and the NYPD Pizza within the Publix Plaza. It is great to just be able to walk over there in a couple of minutes and sit down and have a meal when we don't feel like driving anywhere. We also love the nice assortments of wines that Publix offers. There is a Walgreen's next door which is open until midnight to buy items when you are returning late from the parks. Also, Vista Cay Resort is the only short term rental community in Orange County.
